hey 
I purchased a western digital 120Gb HDD just over a year ago from OCUK, i recently installed "Drive health" to monitor my hard disks.....ive started to get a message pop up on the screen randomly upto a few times a day saying "a non-typical smart attribute value fall error has occured" (something like that).
When i open up the reporting tool it has an exclamation mark against "seek error rate" but not always.....
however, it says at the top "nearest T.E.C 10/02/2006....does this mean it will die soon?
Im a bit of a n00b when it comes to hard drives
Anywho, im wondering if I should RMA it before it goes completely? (if i can this will be more handy)
thanks,
Paul
